#BiWeek was created 3 years ago by GLAAD, BiNet USA, and others to accelerate acceptance of the bi+ community. #BiWeek draws attention to the public policy concerns, while also celebrating the resiliency of, the bisexual community. Many within the bi community often face underreported or unreported issues and challenges; from health disparities to physical violence, anxiety, depression, poverty, and more, and at a higher rate than their gay, lesbian, and straight peers. BiWeek aims to increase visibility, education, and awareness of the bi community's needs, as well as its many achievements, collectively and individually.Throughout #BiWeek, allies and bi+ people learn about the history, culture, community and current policy priorities of bi+ communities.
